Hey guys, need some opinions and on my new balisong design "Widow". In January (with some help from my uncle, who is experienced in knife making) I'm starting to make my first balisong. There will be some links to pics of some rough sketches as well as some designs I made in Photoshop below. So here are some possible specs: Titanium handles, 4-5.5 oz, 9-10 inches, 154CM bowie style blade, sandwich construction, t-latch, and I would like your opinion on bearings or bushings for the pivots. Thanks, Davis.

It looks as though you're trying to copy the Alpha Beast look, be careful. Other than that, go with bushings, reduce horn size, and round out or cone the t-latch and put in some kind of latch gate so it won't get in the way.
